Yoga Restrictions After Tummy Tuck?

After 6 weeks you should be fine to start yoga, but start slowly and gradually increase. You should get clearance from your surgeon who knows you best. Good luck.

You should be able to do yoga once you've allowed yourself that 6 week wait after surgery and if your recovery has been going well, although you should start off slowly and build up as to not cause damage. For better advice, please ask your surgeon.

All tissues require at least 6 weeks of healing time to reach maximal strength so that you can practice your yoga or other strenuous activities.   This goes for skin, tendon, muscle, bone, etc.   Sometimes, individual healing rates can vary depending on your overall health status.   By 4-6 weeks, you are definitely getting close, but check with your surgeon to make sure that your abdomen and fascia have healed to the extent necessary for the additional pressures of yoga.    Premature strain on your tissues can lead to complications and reoperation, which of course, you want to avoid!
